A new LED street lighting system is set to be installed in Lurgan Town Centre.

Work will begin in the County Armagh town on Monday 10 January 2022 to upgrade the existing lights with new LED lights which retain the architectural style and daytime appearance of the original lanterns.

This £125,000 investment will result in improved quality and uniformity of lighting extending from Church Place up to Malcolm Road inclusive of side streets William Street, North Street and Edward Street.

Announcing the scheme, Infrastructure Minister Nichola Mallon said: "This significant investment will benefit everyone who travels and works in the area. I am committed to addressing the issues which matter most to people and street lighting services are crucial in ensuring those driving, cycling, wheeling and walking can do so safely within their communities.

"This investment provides new LED technology in Lurgan Town Centre. It is important that adequate street lighting not only improves the quality of lighting but is more energy efficient given my commitment to climate action.

"I would like to thank the public and local residents in advance for their cooperation and ask that they comply with all temporary traffic restrictions while these much needed works are completed."

All work involving lane closures will be carried out during off peak weekday times between 9.30am and 4.30pm. Road users should be aware that some delays may be expected and that additional time should be allowed when planning any journeys.

The scheme is expected to be completed by mid-February 2022.
